The base year for this analysis is 2010 and the horizon year is 2040. The goal is to document the 2010 enrollment and in a future report, use that data, along with regional population forecast and other factors, to compute estimates of enrollments in the 2040 horizon year. The school enrollment data was compiled for four different categories of education. The categories include public schools (pre-kindergarten through twelfth grades), private schools (pre-kindergarten through twelfth grades), vocational-technical schools and university and college education. The information was collected for the above-mentioned types of academic institutions within the OCARTS area (see Figure 1), which includes Oklahoma and Cleveland Counties and portions of Canadian, Logan, McClain and Grady Counties.

To obtain base year enrollment data the MPO staff used several sources, including the Oklahoma Department of Education, the Education Oversight Board of the Oklahoma Office of Accountability, the Oklahoma State Department of Vocational and Technical Education, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, the National Center for Education Statistics, various newspaper articles, telephone surveys, and internet searches. METHODOLOGY FOR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) COMPONENT One of the primary components of the past 2005 school enrollment project was the creation of a geodatabase containing school districts and school feeder boundaries. These same boundaries were used for the 2010 update. The schools, colleges and universities that had been address-matched in the 2005 update were used for 2010. In some cases, additional new facilities were added and closed facilities were deleted. PUBLIC SCHOOL ENROLLMENT Base data for public school enrollment in 2010 for pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade were obtained in large part from the “Public School Enrollment Data File” distributed by the Office of Accountability. Supplemental data was obtained from the “2009-2010 Statistical Profile” published by the Oklahoma City Public Schools Planning, Research and Evaluation Department. Using this information, a database containing school district, city, school name, grades, traffic analysis zone, enrollment, and district enrollment for each public school was created (see Figure 2 and Table 1). New schools were added between 2005 and 2010. In some cases, the grades of schools were designated, or reclassified to adapt to population growth in the school district. Oklahoma City Public Schools also added some charter schools within that same time period. The charter schools had a flexible catchment area.
